This episode of the Progress Educational Trust (PET) podcast discusses what is known about the short-term and long-term health – both physical and psychological – of people who were conceived via IVF and related reproductive technologies.

Is the evidence reassuring? Or are there reasons to be concerned?

The discussion is chaired by Sarah Norcross (Director of PET), with contributions from:

⚫ Professor Barbara Luke (Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Michigan State University)

⚫ Professor Alastair Sutcliffe (Professor of General Paediatrics at University College London)

⚫ Dr Faiza Afzal (Senior Research Fellow at University College London)

⚫ Professor Vasanti Jadva (Leader of the Reproduction and the Family Research Group at City St George's, University of London)

PET is grateful to the Scottish Government for supporting this discussion.

PET is also grateful to Jon Nicoll, who created the opening and closing music for its podcast.
